One month ago I went on a Facebook fast for personal reasons. It’s been a great experience where I have cleared my head and focused on other areas of expression like my blog. I remain connected on Twitter and Instagram. I don’t regret leaving one bit, but I know a return is in sight sometime in the future. So far so good though and I’ll go back when I am good and ready. Until then, steady on as they say.
Everyone has a problem creating blog posts every now and again. If this is you try writing shorter posts like a paragraph or two. Post a favorite picture, quote, meme, YouTube video or a six word story. Smaller posts can help you remove the block and makes it more fun to create. Try these ideas out and most importantly keep on blogging!
So many streams
So much Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and Amazon Prime
So many choices, so little time
So many things to see and experience
So many stories to be told
So be careful when you binge lest you get old
So much, too much to pick from
After a while, it isn’t so much fun.
The Internet is bending but will it break
Because of the powerful streams, people are enjoying
Make time for yourself. Your favorite characters will be there when you get back
All this streaming can inspire some dreaming
Hey can you bring me some popcorn and a beverage or two
Stream, stream, stream is all we wanna do.
Enjoy your Mandalorian and that Baby Yoda too.
All of it is streaming to you.
Yeah, there’s too much to watch.
Those who say blogging is dead doesn’t know what they are talking about. WordPress people would have something to say about that. Blogging is life, blogging is a second religion, blogging is good. Right now its where I hang my social hat.
Today in America its Thanksgiving and its a time of feasting, family, friends and hopefully fun. It’s a tradition that has spanned generations. People coming together to express what they are thankful for is the rule of the day.
Yes, this holiday is not without its baggage. Sure there are stories of mistreatment and anguish in recorded history. We cannot ignore those facts because it would not be respectful to those who have suffered.
However, we can remember the problematic stuff and forge a way forward that recognizes the best of what Thanksgiving can be. In the times in which we live its good to have something positive to say and to remember the good times in our lives.
For many, it’s hard to be thankful and that is where we can come in to help provide experiences that they can hold onto.
I believe this holiday is one of redemption and renewal for something good. Happy Thanksgiving to each of you, far and wide.
I do my best to comment on the posts of fellow bloggers. However, I follow a lot of blogs and its impossible to comment on all of them. Know if I like your post I acknowledge your contribution and if I can bring value in offering feedback I will do so. I take my connections and communication seriously and I value my friendships in blogging in the same manner. The lifeblood for a blogger is feedback.
Keep on blogging and if you haven’t posted in some time please take some time to get everyone up to speed on what’s going on in your world. Blogs are to be living and breathing documents. I can’t wait to comment and like what you have to say.
